Bug Description

This is not necessarily a bug, just an unsupported configuration. Attempts to install and boot a generic-64k kernel on t2a instances result in a failure. The collected console log states:

UEFI: Attempting to start image.
Description: ubuntu
FilePath: HD(15,GPT,D50A4893-6539-4486-920D-921ED26E81CB,0x800,0x31801)/\EFI\ubuntu\shimaa64.efi
OptionNumber: 2.

Loading Linux 5.15.0-100-generic-64k ...

Loading initial ramdisk ...

EFI stub: ERROR: This 64 KB granular kernel is not supported by your CPU
Application failed, r = 3

  Failed to boot both default and fallback entries.

Press any key to continue...

The VM hangs at this point. This latest experiment was done with a jammy image using jammy/linux version 5.15.0-100.110.
